in a hoodie and we also need to look at the stand your ground because that's why the verdict came down the way it did. and that is a shame that not only did the judicial system fail him, but the government failed him by letting stand this law that increases gun violence. >> stephanie: yeah, i was mentioning it yesterday that i thought eric holder made a good point, he is like why are we fixing something that is not broken? self-defense laws have existed -- >> right, and these are the same folks who are always saying you don't need more hate crime laws enforce the laws on the book. and yet when it comes to having a license to shoot more people, they are all for it. it's the same wording on the same bill in every different state. and this is how the aristocracy

is calling the shots now. all stand your ground is if you start a fight and get your ass kicked you get to shoot the guy. >> stephanie: right. charlie in indiana. hi, charlie. >> caller: i always wondered what kind of person trayvon was, and after watching his -- his mother, father and brother on tv and the grace and courage they showed with this horrible tragedy, i have a pretty good idea, he was a pretty nice person, and i just think it is so tragic. >> stephanie: yeah, absolutely. i thought his mom was amazing. did you see any of her speaking? >> i did. i interviewed her on cnn last year a couple of times. and she has uncommon grace in it, when you consider the amount of bitterness we would all allow them to have i think it's fascinating how much the

right-wing has invested time and energy in making us think he was a bad person. zimmerman had a black woman as his date to the prom. the fact is he prejudged young black youth the way the society does in general. and there's a big difference between institutionalized racism and rank hatred and bigotry. and the real problem is the prejudice that exists in our hearts that has been passed down from generation to generation. i think george zimmerman is a loser and has a lot of emotional problems, but i do think that he's indicative of larger problem in society. >> stephanie: yeah. >> and the way young black men are regarded here i live the

president props. those comments were right on. >> stephanie: yeah. i thought so too. brett in arkansas. hey, brett. >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: go ahead. >> caller: i have called in a lot, i think you know even though i'm conservative i believe that everybody deserves a fair shot, everybody deserves the same rights. i'm not a prejudice person i think you know that from the tone of my calls in here. but i keep hearing a lot of people talking about george zimmerman's criminal past. and my question would be is that afforded to everyone in this country? because you had problems with the law in the past, does that mean you are no longer capable of having a good productive life afterwards? >> stephanie: no, and you are also entitled to shoot an unarmed teenager and get away with it. >> when he called the police 46

times in the span of about two years, he called 91146 times, once on a group of black men working on their car in their yard, and once on a group of children. >> stephanie: yeah, i think as a progressive he is going to be one of those people that call 911 for beer and cigarettes. >> this guy now the rest of his life he has to think twice before he gets to call 911 when he cease a law-abiding black person in his neighborhood. >> stephanie: exactly. >> announcer: i got her number off of the men's room stall. 1-800-steph-1-2. life was out to use him.

happened. and the whole purpose in a jury trial is to protect the defendant, even if he is not the kind of guy you want to protect. >> what do you mean may have, though? if he would have stayed in his car, then we wouldn't be talking about this. >> caller: i have lost so much respect for law enforcement over the years. there are a lot of great officers out there, but following someone to the point of stocking -- he didn't break the law by following him, or, quote unquote, profiling him >> never said he did -- >> stephanie: yes, it was the shooting and killing him that broke the law. do you think that this could be an oj outcome? >> caller: oh, yes, absolutely. >> stephanie: he is responsible. i get that he was acquitted of

murder in a jury trial, but what do you think would happen in a civil trial? >> caller: i don't know. i go 99% criminal defense work. i think there could be a civil case -- i don't know a lot of the right-wingers -- are they still sending him money in he might be one of those judgment-proof people. >> would you agree to ensure his acquittal, the defense had to put the dead kid on trial? >> caller: no. i don't think you have to put the kid on trial. because i have always found -- or not always -- but usually it is counterproductive to blame the victim. because i have represented some pretty unappealing people -- >> stephanie: which defense attorney was it that said trayvon martin was responsible for his own death? >> caller: i wouldn't have argued that. although it worked obviously but i wouldn't have argued that. i don't like blaming the victim because i think it hurts --

>> would you agree -- go ahead. >> caller: we're maybing a lot of assumptions and that's the problem. and i understand that trayvon martin is not alive to testify about what happened i understand that. but we don't know -- for example, it's certainly possible that he could have seen this kid. he doesn't know the kid. was following him. didn't approach the kid. the kid may have turn around and thought he was stalking him maybe he is gay. you may have heard that -- >> stephanie: yes, on rush limbaugh. >> caller: the point is we don't know that trayvon martin didn't wait around the corner and then jump on him. >> do you think that the prosecution could have said that trayvon martin had a right to stand his ground? >> caller: see, they didn't argue stand your ground. >> stephanie: it was in the jury

instructions. >> that's right. stand your ground was all over this case. >> caller: probably should have been -- but it's all -- this whole stand your ground -- stand your ground seems absolutely crazy to me. we have self-defense up here. >> stephanie: yes, we have also had self-defense -- >> it's going to make a lot of headaches for law enforcement. >> you have a right to stand your ground if there is no safe retreat possible. >> if zimmerman had said i have a weapon this wouldn't have happened. that's another act of aggression on his part. >> stephanie: he didn't identify himself as a neighborhood person, nothing. it is setting people up to not

find a way to retreat -- >> yeah, identify trayvon as an f-ing punk. >> stephanie: yes, blank hole. yes. let's go to john in chicago. >> caller: hello, i have a question, and my question is if i'm in a confrontation like zimmerman and martin in your opinion at what point do i get to protect myself? >> oh god! >> stephanie: okay. joe, we're going back over the same ground. he's -- when mark o'mara stands up after the verdict and said it's too bad trayvon is dead but my client is not responsible. do you really think though guy that shot him through the heart is not in any way responsible for his death. >> caller: actually i'm talking about me or you. >> of course you can defend yourself. >> but again -- >> caller: at what point though? you made a comment earlier about a fractured skull and swollen brain.

you don't want me to get to that point, do you -- >> of course not. but you are not going to start a fight with someone who isn't causing any problems -- >> stephanie: george zimmerman created this entire problem. >> you, sir, are too much of a man to do something like that correct? you are not going to violate the rules of neighborhood watch, right? >> the point is he didn't have a fractured skull. he had very superficial wounds. >> stephanie: all right. let's move on. twenty-nine minutes after the hour. back with john fugelsang -- >> i just like black kids getting shot. what do you want? >> stephanie: oy vey. right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> jack, how old are you? >> nine. >> this is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like.

momma, this is looking like a susan smith type of story, perhaps. [♪breaking news theme♪] >> stephanie: the father and mother of antonio santiago the 13--month-old baby that was shot by two teens in march allegedly, they both had gun residue on them. and the mother was also shot but it is unclear where the baby east father would have been exposed to gun residue. west has always maintained she was walking the baby by herself when two teens approached her and shot her baby and her. so developing as you would

say -- >> but even if it was two black teens who shot this child violently and tragically what does that have to do with zimmerman in florida >> stephanie: yeah. >> it's like people are so committed to demonizing trayvon martin in his death to make them feel better about this guy shooting him. >> stephanie: yeah. >> get your ass kicked in a fight and then kill the guy. that's the morality we'll dealing with. >> stephanie: yes, steve in l.a. go ahead. >> caller: i used to be a criminal defense attorney as a background, but i'm a big progressive as well. and i was musing at the other guy before. the problem with this case if you want to look at it medialy, is prosecutors do a lousy job.

and in a city like that -- it's similar here in l.a. -- there's not a whole lot of sympathy. so prosecutors go through their day just punching the card like two dogs in the cartoon -- the sheep and the wolf in the cartoon. >> stephanie: yeah. steve that was the other thing because zimmerman had the luck to become the fox news poster boy for some reason he got a great attorney for free jright? >> caller: yeah, but a good criminal defense attorney goes into this case if i was my 20-year ago, you know what, i would have been challenging -- if i was the prosecutor i would have gone in -- as the defense i was with that same attitude and i would have been filing motions to challenge this stand your ground law on many different grounds and fought them up to the

appellate courts before there ever was a trial. i would have looked at it from the point of view -- i would have macgyvered this case. what prosecutors tend to do is walk in and say this is the tools they gave me, so what can you do? and that's the difference. they don't recognize the difference in saying this is obviously wrong. >> stephanie: i also think, you know, john that it starts with the police. the police botched the investigation obviously. >> and this guy's father was a magistrate, and that played a role on how he got off on the assault on the lady cop when he was 20. this is just how the world runs. and to me and not everyone is going to like this, but the real story was there was no arrest and no trial of zimmerman, and

it took radio stations and blogs, and the main stream media caught up and said how can this happen to me the real victory is there was an arrest and trial, the rest is an epilogue -- they are defending a guy who lied under oath. you don't get to say bill clinton deserved to be impeached and then have zimmerman's bail revoked -- >> stephanie: yeah. trooper in austin you are on the "stephanie miller show" with john. hi, trooper. >> caller: hi, yeah, i think the jury was rigged but the thing that they could have really stuck on him was the fact that zimmerman set the kid up by not telling him he was neighborhood watch, he had access to the gun, he set the kid up. >> stephanie: that's actually a

really good point. >> he has so many acts of aggression, leaving the vehicle after the dispatch told him not to, and pursuing the guy, violating every neighborhood watch rule, and then not telling trayvon martin he was armed. all of these are acts of aggression. >> stephanie: yep. let's go to justin in huntington beach. >> caller: hey, guys another thing about the stand your ground law in florida that is so egregious, the way the law is written, george zimmerman cannot be sued in civil court for wrongful death. and since alec wrote that bill, not only can you shoot these people, now you cannot be sued in civil court for wrongful death. >> oh, wow. >> then people have to file civil suits against alec for

enabling their loved one's death. >> stephanie: yeah. this is green light for racist vigilantes. >> and wait until black folks start doing it too though. >> uh-huh. >> stephanie: by the way -- >> fox news saying we need to revisit the stand your ground law -- >> stephanie: he had a caller blame black parents. oh, look here is a story about lynnsy lohan's mom. she drunk dialed lindsay during her daughter's therapy session. someone at the rehab facility arranged for the mom to have a conversation with lindsay on the kay of the conversation although the person who ran the clinic believed that dana was

drunk, and nicked the call. miley cyrus to justin bieber stop being stupid. you are stupid i'm not stupid. she told him to stop being stupid and take a break from music following his recent antics. >> what this did was so obnoxious and rude. if you are still defending justin bieber, you are what i call an underachiever. this guy was in this restaurant with his little suck-ups he yuan nated in a yellow custodial bucket. he grabs some cleaner, and then sprayed a picture of bill clinton saying f-clinton. so the media reports that he called bill clinton, because he

gets bill clinton's number and clinton said everything is okay bro, we're cool. and no one talked about the fact that there is a guy somewhere two had to clean justin bieber pee to do his job and feed his family. and he needs to apologize to the entire staff management and owners, and he hasn't done it. i did a ferocious smack down of the kid. justin bieber sucks. he could perform unsterilized surgery on puppies while stabbing baby seals and the media wouldn't care. >> stephanie: tina turner got

through this thing called life, electric word, life, it means forever, and that's a mighty long time, but i'm here to tell you. there's something else -- >> announcer: stephanie miller. ♪ yeah, let's go crazy, let's go nuts ♪ ♪ let's go ♪ >> stephanie: uh-huh. it is the "stephanie miller show." i get it. because my personal comedy jesus is here. john fugelsang. >> yes, my child. >> stephanie: in the new york bureau. this obviously has gotten so emotional, the zimmerman verdict and the trayvon stuff. i have gotten the right-wing emails, and one of them is supposed to be from this baby oh, hi, the president doesn't care about me, i was shot in the face by two black kids blah blah blah -- >> yeah.

>> stephanie: this is what happens when people try to use something that has nothing to do with another case. [♪breaking news theme♪] >> stephanie: but again, i don't know what the truth is. these kids are in jail and there is going to be a trial, but four months ago the horrific shooting death of the baby and the subsequent arrest of two teen suspects made national headlines and now there is news that both the hands of the mother and father had gun residue. her own daughter said she boughts her mother's story. she said she doesn't want to wrongly accuse her mother, but began having serious doubts about the version she has told. she claimed her mother may have killed the baby for insurance money. she began giving conflicting stories. she was taken away from her mother when she was eight.

she said it was during a conversation that her mother asked her about the insurance money soon after the baby was killed. her mood swings were odd. sometimes she would cry, and other times act like nothing had happened. she said the baby was shot first, and then she said she was shot first. he is claimed her mother had mental problems and suffered from schizophrenia and had problems with bipolar. so you can cast your own dispersions, the defense lawyer for the kids obviously says his clients were innocent. and again, people are starting to make the susan smith analogy. >> here is the thing, even if every word of their story is true, these suspects are in custody, right? >> stephanie: but again -- this is a white woman's, you know, story -- >> i hear ya -- but even if she

is telling the complete truth and these kids did it they are in custody and were arrested eight away, that's why it's different than the trayvon martin case. horrible murders happen every day, don't go using this to make the white people are the victim card. it's grotesque. >> stephanie: yep, exactly.
